Interview du Directeur de la Fondation Cogest'ems dans le cadre du projet de construction du nouvel EPSM Chanella à Rossinière
Tous les collaborateurs de LINK ARCHITECTES ont eu le plaisir et le privilège de participer à une journée de ski en compagnie de Lise-Marie Morerod, ancienne championne du monde et première skieuse suisse à remporter le gros globe de cristal du classement général de la coupe du monde en 1977.
Il y a dix ans, la villa Dind de LINK ARCHITECTES est en couverture du n°139 de la renommée publication japonaise "GA Houses".
La villa Dind a également été choisie en 2018 par le réalisateur Bruno Deville pour le tournage de la série TV "double vie" produite par la TSR.

Ten years ago, the villa Dind by LINK ARCHITECTES was on the cover of issue n° 139 from the renowned japanese publication "GA Houses".
Villa Dind was also chosen in 2018 by director Bruno Deville for the filming of the TV series “double vie” produced by TSR.
The German Design Awards set the benchmark for innovation and global competitiveness in design.
They highlight how design can drive sustainable economic transformation. Today, outstanding design has the power to address the pressing challenges of our time more effectively than ever. The German Design Awards recognise these exceptional achievements and ensure they receive the visibility they deserve.
The German Design Award is regarded as a reliable benchmark for outstanding design, recognising visionary ideas with future potential. Every year, leading design experts from all over the world come together to assess projects that impress with their innovative concepts and sustainable solutions. This year, for the first time, circular design also took centre stage - designs that focus on resource conservation and durability and open up new perspectives for future-proof products. The German Design Award thus goes far beyond a mere honour: it is a statement for design that shapes the present and has a lasting impact on the future.
Le concept développé se veut essentiellement contextuel, tout en intégrant strictement les limites qui découlent d’un quartier hétéroclite. Ce souci d’intégration paysagère et de réidentification de la moindre surface disponible complète le tissu urbain tout en déjouant les règlements et les a priori constructifs conventionnels. Cette démarche architecturale se démarque par une extrusion maximale du sol avec un seul niveau apparent contenant six logements contigus, telle une galette végétalisée.
Les accès individualisés longent la rue descendante située au nord et les espaces privatifs s’orientent naturellement selon la course du soleil. La typologie concordante va du trois pièces et demie au quatre pièces et demie avec, pour chacun, des patios centraux. La pertinence de cette architecture topographique reste cohérente.

The concept is similar to a hybrid between a dwelling and a landscaped structure. The approach is to connect the project with the topography by working on how it fits into the ground. A layer is extruded to form the thematic base of a dwelling: the roof. A kind of silhouette of the topography, the vegetated roof covers the staggered compartments on the slope and becomes the main façade. The footprint of the project results from the shape of the plot, a half-moon. These boundaries frame the six housing units, fitting successively into the slope.
The site is characterised by its specific geometry and topography. Its boundaries were formed as a result of changes in road layouts at the beginning of the last century. This has resulted in a unique spirit and form that tells the story of the place. The concept for the project entails a hybrid between a dwelling and a landscaping structure. The idea was to connect the project with the topography by finding a way to insert it into the ground. A layer is extruded to form the thematic base of a dwelling: the roof. A kind of silhouette of the topography, the vegetation-covered roof covers the staggered compartments on the slope and becomes the main façade. The footprint of the project results from the shape of the plot, a halfmoon. Its boundaries frame the six housing units, which fit successively into the slope. Sheltered under this large sheet of vegetation, the floor-through housing units are punctuated by outdoor spaces. From the entrance, loggias carved into the wooden façade create a sequence of semi-private spaces unique to each unit. Once inside, the user is guided towards the patio. This interior garden floods the heart of the homes with light while creating new connections between the rooms. The inward-oriented typology generates an intimate and comforting atmosphere. The plantings on the large green roof will settle in and could be transformed into a vast community garden, the beginning of a strong and endearing identity.
